Bluetooth not detecting any nearby devices

Hello, Bluetooth is not detecting my airpods which was working perfectly fine this morning in gui, when I try to connect by cli with bluetoothctl, I get the following message everytime I ran a command
`No default controller available`

when I run rfkill list all I get this:

0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no

bluetooth status:

● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service

Re: Bluetooth not detecting any nearby devices

I'm assuming you've already done so, but just in case, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Blueto … _available has several good things to try before going further
